[Day: Wednsday, June 8th. Time: 8:00 p.m.]
[Yesterday you dealt with a haunted house and came out smelling like
tasty food. Then you opened the sekrit letter that told you where to go to get
box. Gonna do it?]
[You're in the clubroom, natch :P]
[Session Start]
(Only if we're crazy.... which means, yes.)
* Chie sits at the table, munching on one of the bags of chips that got bought
yesterday but never eaten. She seems much more subdued than usual, and she's
very definitely *not* looking in Maria's direction. Wherever Maria is.
* Maria is sulking in the windowsil, looking like she didn't sleep well last
night. And she's very definitely *not* looking in Chie's direction. Or Chomei's,
if he's here.
* Reikoto enters the club room, apparently side-by-side with herself. She's
wearing bright, day-glo green sneakers, mismatched socks, frumpled pants, and a
shirt that was probably designed by the same guy who came up with Hawaiian
shirts, except on acid and while browsing a Spencer's store.
* Lazar is sitting cross-legged beside Peter's desk, playing with a Slinky.
* Chomei is sitting in the corner, looking somewhat confused. He's chugging soda
and reading a small book.
* Chie finishes the bag of chips, wipes one hand on her jeans, crumples it up
and aims it in the general direction of the trash can.
* Rei walks next to herself, grinning madly. Instead of the day-glo green
sneakers, hers are BRIGHT ORANGE! and red instead. She has mismatched, rainbow
socks, oil-stained jeans, and a purple t-shirt with sequenced yellow stars sewn
on.
* Lazar looks up idly from the Slinky. "Hello Rei, other Rei..." *blinks* "...
oy."
* Chie turns around. "Hi, Rei... and Rei."
* Maria shields her eyes from the bright colors as two Reis enter the room.
[Now you realize Peter's not there.]
(Does that have something to do with a tiny kirby and an anvil?)
( No. He hasn't been there. )
... any Rei see Peter?
The prof?
Well, sure... oh, you mean today?
* Chomei looks a little to his left (In the direction of the door.), and quickly
goes back to reading.
* Chie shakes her head. "I haven't seen him. Did he leave a note or anything?"
* Rei blinks and looks around. "Anyone sure he completely recovered from that
Kirby concussion? Maybe we should call and check."
* Chomei dogears his page and looks up at the two. "Oh boy..."
But if he's still concussed he wouldn't answer. Maybe we could talk
to the little birds floating around his head.
Hey, the little birds would know! They've been hanging out there
recently. Maybe they're even nesting in his hair!
... Right.
* Chie blinks. "Okay, which one of you is Rei and which is Makoto?"
I bet they are! Now, we'll need to find Snow White and get her on the
phone with the birds. Unless somebody else speaks birdie?
* Reikoto points to the Rei beside her and says "I'm Rei."
...yeah, figured.
I definitely don't speak Bird. Wasn't one of the courses they offered in
high school, see. Which really is a pity, because- hey! We could use the
colors of the wind! Now if only we had a way to harness it.
* Rei eyes the other Rei. "No, I'm Rei."
(Curse you Ard! You almost made soda come out of my nose!)
If have concussion, he can talk. Just softly.
* Chie stands up and stretches. "Okay. So, the prof's not here and he didn't
leave a note."
(Splurt!)
* Maria blinks at Rei in confusion.
* Reikoto nods to the first Rei. "Yes, that's what I said. Anyway, if we could
harness the wind we'd all have to wear big wooden shoes and frolic in the
tulips."
* Maria blinks at OtherRei in confusion, too.
... we is going to find Box tonight, yes?
* Maria rubs her temples. Gonna be one of those days.
Yeah, that's what I thought the plan was.
* Rei taps her chin. "But that's a danger to the natural environment. Wooden
shoes aren't good for delicate flowers... duh, Lazar."
* Chamelaeon has quit IRC (Ping timeout )
* Reikoto nods at Lazar. "Duh, Lazar."
* Chie shakes her head. "So do we try and contact him or are we just gonna head
on over to the trap... I mean, Asahara building."
* Lazar eyes the Reis. "Do not make me use Slinky."
Ha! Your slinky does not frighten me! And where the hell is the prof? I
think I'm gonna call him.
Well, his Slinky frightens me. We don't know where it will slink off
to once it captures us. For all we know it might take us to Johannesburg!
Slinky is mighty weapon. Famous warrior slew many demons with Holy
Slinky of Abraham.
* Chomei snickers.
Like Abraham Lincoln? Damn. Abraham Lincoln never loses. We're doomed.
Doomed, I say! Hold me, me.
* Rei falls backwards.
* Chie points to Reikoto. "A-ha! You must be Makoto! The real Rei definitely
isn't afraid of slinkies."
( He lost to John Wilkes-Booth! )
(That was a fake Lincoln.)
Nono, Abraham. From Old Testament.
( He secretly planned to rise as a zombie, and that was a convenient
way of becoming dead -and- brain-lacking )
* Reikoto catches the other Rei, and staggers a little. "Did you hear that, Rei?
She thinks you're me."
(John Wilkes-Booth got lucky... and he's like the spy in Stratego. He
runs up against anyone else and he gets toasted.)
( Abraham Lincoln still walks the streets of Washnigton, DC as the
living undead. )
Does she really? I can't imagine why. How'd anyone ever tell us apart?
( Unknown to most citizens, the substance known as 'crack cocaine' is
really a specialized variety of mold growing on his still-shambling corpse. )
Slinky is lost martial art... last practicioner die many years ago.
Or maybe not. I'm confused!
* Chie rubs her head. "Anyhow."
* Chomei scratches his head.
( That's why it's illegal. They think the Lich of General Lee may track
him down with it. )
Someone call Peter. If no available, we go to trap outselves.
* Maria shrugs.
* Reikoto produces her cell phone and hands it to the other Rei. "Hurry up and
call him, me!"
Right, go to trap, kick ass, get box, get out with two seconds before
the building explodes, and everyone's happy.
* Chie grins at Chomei. "Yeah, sounds like a plan."
Forget overly-talkative bad guy giving hints of evil plan.
* Rei takes it. "All right, all right!" She dials like ninja and holds the phone
to her ear.
Oh yeah, how could I forget that?
And the 'We all get caught but really aren't' part.
* Maria looks out the window.
[Maria sees Kirby!]
[But only for a minute. Maybe she imagined it.]
( Maria's been toking up again! )
* Chie sits back down and drums her fingers on the table.
* Maria shakes her head to clear it. o_O
Anyways. Rei, whichever one it is, do you have a map of the deathtrap?
Yo, Prof! Where are ya? We have a Box to rescue and doom to wander into!
Well, no. Not a Box. I misspoke. THE BOX. My Box! Remember that
mysterious note? We read it and got an address for Box and where the hell are
you?
( ...There's a game in chan, or are you just messing with my head?)
(Yes.)
(Both, of course.)
( Some of A, some of B, and all of C.)
( I... see. )
Beep! Rei's on the other line right now, but if you'd like to acquire
the secret to infiltrating Ganon's lair, press one now. Otherwise, stay on the
line to hear a duck quack.
* Chie looks up at Reikoto. "You quack?"
Quack.
* Reikoto produces several sheets of sturdy-looking paper with what appears to
be a zoomed-out floorplan printed on them.
* Chomei eyes Reikoto. "Yup, she... he... I mean... They're quacks."
Oh, goody. Deathtrap floorplans.
* Chie gets up to take a closer look.
* Maria sighs and heads over to look at the floorplans.
What're you doing at *home*? I miss you! You make me very sad!
* Lazar places the Slinky on the desk and goes over to look at the floorplans.
* Chomei gets out of his chair and walks over to get a good look at the
floorplans.
* Chie somehow manages to end up next to Chomei. Imagine that.
* Rei sniffs. "Well, if you wanna meet us there, it'll be at an Asahara
building." She rattles off the address. "And the Rei there? Not me. Okay?"
* Reikoto arranges them in a very sensible order, but actually -says- "For an
additional fee of six yen, I'll even put them in the correct order!"
* Maria *eyes* Reikoto.
Just kidding.
The Rei there isn't me. It's a different Rei. An EVIL- okay, not evil
Rei. It's Makoto-Rei. Yeah. I'm not lettin' them get me, thanks.
I'll be there, just all ghosty and stuff.
* Maria looks the floorplans over.
* Reikoto points to the ground floor and identifies it as such. "Ground floor.
It works its way up from there, until you get to the top. I didn't have enough
paper to print out the stratosphere."
* Chomei starts surveying the floorplans.
No is problem. Golem fly like thing that does not fly.
[The floorplans are for a typical office building :P]
So you're saying you fall like a rock? Why didn't you just say so?
... because you all try to kill me if I make pun.
... Point.
* Chie eyes the floorplans. "So where's the whirling blade gauntlet and the
machines that make pointless flames?"
(/me hides beneath the table.)
* Maria almost smirks, but doesn't.
* Rei covers the phone long enough to say, "It's not a pun. It's a similie."
Probably right next to the nuclear powered furnace.
Gesundheit.
Cool. See ya there.
* Rei hangs up.
* Reikoto holds her hand out for the phone.
* Rei hands her double the phone. "Okay, so one sec while I get comfy. This is
gonna be a wild, wild ride."
* Maria looks the plans over some more.
* Rei heads over to a corner and sits, closing her eyes.
* Chie grins. "Hey, I was *right*!"
* Rei is now known as SpiritRei
* Reikoto smiles cheerfully. "Yup! But you didn't think I'd just give it away
when you guessed it, did ya?"
* Chie chuckles. "Nah."
~Ha! Y'didn't even know, Chie? I'm all hurt and sad and stuff. Or
not. We don't really have a plan, do we? Can we make one? Nope!~
* Chie thinks of something. "Is it gonna be okay for you to leave yourself here
Rei?"
Where was Box supposed to be? Or are they going to have signs that say
'Claimers of box, this way?'
Who needs a plan? All we're doing is walking into a deathtrap.
Best plans of spirits and shapeshifters often go splut.
Hey, it's not like we haven't walked into traps before.
You could always hide in my car, Rei. The windows are tinted, and I
can leave the moonroof cracked for ventilation.
~Okay? Probably not, but it's better than if I go. Trust me on
this.~
* Maria smirks at Lazar's comment.
Remember what happened LAST time Rei stayed in your car?
~Sure, and if someone finds out, then I'm totally screwed.~
* SpiritRei blinks. ~Oh, hell. Peter isn't here.~
Ooh, yeah. Transport.
* Maria blinks.
Point. And the real Rei hasn't had time to install the tazer/pie
security system, yet.
Oh. Right.
* SpiritRei points at Reikoto, though 'she' can't see it. ~How're you s'posed to
drive over on my bike when we need to get Lazar over there? This is gonna suck!
Erm, unless someone else drove your car, but who'd you trust to do that?~
... That just sounds crazy, but also really damn effective.
* Maria frowns.
~And I'm working on it! It's gonna kick major amounts of ass and
toes.~
Hrmm...
* Reikoto taps her chin.
Well, Chie could drive my car. The suspension is stiff enough to
support Lazar, and Chie promised me she'd pretend to be the nav system some day.
But I've never driven stick shift before.
Drive van, leave car?
And when did I promise that, Makoto?
( Oh, this is gonna be great. )
~I could do it!~
We could always just wait? And if you do that I could check the place
out to see just how obvious the trap is.
~Ever drive astrally before? It's really damn cool! Everyone
should try it.~
* Chomei sighs. "I hate logistics."
* Maria blinks. "...Or Rei could drive."
* Reikoto taps her chin some more.
* SpiritRei cackles.
Yeah, that's so crazy, it just might work!
Rei will drive my car, I'll take Rei's bike, and we all make it there
just fine.
Okay. Anybody coming with me?
* Maria rubs her face. "Something tells me I'll want to go on foot this time."
* Lazar shrugs. "Just tell me what car to go to, and I go."
Remember, Rei. I don't have a roll cage on the car either, and you
can't lean into turns, and the suspension will be pushing the limit with the
Lazar in the car, so DECELERATE into turns, okay?
~Hey, Makoto could drive ya. He's been practicing. He almost
drives like me now! It makes me so proud, kinda like that cucumber pie.~
~Aww, do I *have* to?~
Yes!
Well, shoot. There isn't a safe place for me, is there?
* Chie looks at Chomei. "Rei, Makoto driving like Rei, or me? What's it gonna
be?" She grins.
We can take it mudding some time later, if you want.
~But I'll fix it later! Or not. Okay, I'll be careful. Honest.
... And we can? Happy day!~
* Maria eyes Chie and then heads out the door. "I'll meet you in the parking
lot, Makoto."
* SpiritRei grins madly and yoinks the keys from 'Rei's' pocket. She spins them
around one finger. Floating, spinning keys. ~Okay! Deathtrap time!~
* Chomei looks at his options... "I'll tell you when we get to the parking lot."
Whoo! Deathtrap, here we come!
* Chie looks disappointed briefly, then attempts to smile. "Okay... sure."
* Lazar heads out to the lot.
* Chie nods and heads out.
* Chomei has a change of thought. "Ah, what the heck. Where's your bike
tonight?"
* Chomei follows Chie.
* Reikoto goes over to the sleeping Reibody, gets the motorcycle keys, and heads
down to the lot.
* Chie turns around and grins at him. "Same place it always is."
* SpiritRei heads out of there, humming Disco Inferno and spinning the keys.
That doesn't mean I know where it is.
* Chie laughs. "Just follow me."
* Chomei does so.
( Observe, as Chomei's traditional reliance on Makoto's car renders
him virtually useless in the face of... Chie. )
(Chie has been thoroughly enjoying the lack of Makoto's car. ^_~)
( Hah! )
(Rei's a maniac I tell you, she's crazy!)
[Time: 9:00. They get to the Asahara building. The new one.]
[It's a tall building in a well-to-do part of town. The streets are all
busy.]
(How the heck do we find parking?)
( ...oh no. )
( Reikoto's gonna be weaving through traffic like mad, I just know it.
;_; )
(They reserved spots for us in the garage! "Mystery Club park here!")
( So Makoto will cut across oncoming traffic and drive between cars
and hop curbs and medians! He has learned well! )
( What are those red glowing spots on the floor?)
( *whimper* )
[There is, in fact, a parking garage.]
* SpiritRei drives carefully and nicely and not at all Rei-like over to the
building. Parking garage! Enter and yoink a spot next to other empty spots. Yup.
* Lazar exits the car. The car seems eternally grateful.
* Chie pulls in next to the car.
* Reikoto zooms up the parking garage ramp behind his car, passes it just before
it turns into a parking space, and screeches to a skewed stop, diagonally taking
half the space beside his own Subaru.
* SpiritRei tosses the keys out after Lazar, then exits through the door and
picks them up.
( No it doesn't. it seems very, very angry )
* Chie turns to Chomei, after removing her helmet.
See, it could have been worse. *Much* worse.
* Maria is riding behind Makoto and holding on for dear life, which has probably
made his day.
* Chomei removes his helmet after he steps off. "Yeah."
~Heeey, nice parking! I give it a nine point eight. You want your
keys back?~
* Reikoto pulls off her helmet and takes her sweet time letting Maria know she
can let go.
Huh? Oh, yeah. Toss 'em here.
* SpiritRei dangles them in front of Makoto's face.
* Reikoto snatches them out of the air and grins.
Or that.
* Chomei hands Chie his helmet. "I really don't understand how she does it."
* Maria opens one eye, looks around, and then lets go and gets off the bike.
~Floating keys, flying keys, either way it's in the air. Airful
keys! Inflatable keys! Hey, there's an idea.~
[There are spaces only on the top floor of the garage.]
* Reikoto looks up at the sky.
* Chie takes the helmet from Chomei and stows it away.
* SpiritRei sits on the roof of Makoto's car. ~Where's the prof?~
I can see my house from here!
[When you get there, two parking attendants approach. "Hiya!"]
* Chie eyes the parking attendants. "Yeah?"
* Maria looks the attendants over. This, no doubt, bodes poorly.
* Reikoto looks down again and smiles at the Attendant. "Hiya, yourself!"
May we ask how long you're going to be?
( Wow, I capitalized Attendant needlessly. I'm German! )
(Obviously, Felix.)
* Chomei takes a look at the attendants.
( Hehe. )
[Chomei sees... parking attendants]
(So he admits it!)
We're not sure. Is there a limit?
( Gasp! Not German! )
( Don't tell anybody! That's a plot point we're not ready to explore
in full detail yet! Not while BOX is still in the clutches of evil Wario! )
(Oh dear, Rei is invading Schnee's head, too.)
Three hours. That alright?
Well, there's no limit, but you have to pay half now, half later.
* Chomei raises an eyebrow. "That's... odd."
* Chie frowns. "Okay, how much for four hours total?"
~Hey, don't you usually just pay it all at the end? They give you a
time stamp or something. Lame. They just wanna take our money!
Pseudoattendants!~
* Chomei nods, but doesn't say anything.
* Attendant looks over to his friend. They grin at each other. "How about an arm
now..."
... and a leg when you get back?
Really. Why's that? Had people skipping their bill by driving through
the walls?
What?
Arm and a leg. Cute.
I hope they're joking. Are they joking? I don't think they're
joking...
~EVIL pseudo attendants!~
That's silly. Unless you accept tofu limbs?
They should hope they're joking, too.
* Attendant smiles. "On second thought, you can just pay up front now, with your
life!" He and the other one grow larger, their shirts bursting, their skin
becoming red. Their eyes turn yellow, their teeth sharp, their tongues long and
forked, and two horns grow from each of their foreheads.
[Init time ^^]
~Evil likely artificially created supernatural pseudo attendants who
are probably tied to hell and oh shit we're gonna- well, probably not die, but
we could!~
* Chie draws her sword. "Oh, yay, parking attendants of the underworld."
* Chomei puts his hand out and summons his bow. "Maybe we should send them
back."
I didn't know they had garages in hell, did you?
* Maria looks even less happy than she did back in the clubroom. But then she
smirks. "I am so glad you picked today to mess with me."
[Chie, Demon1, Lazar, Demon2, Rei, Chomei, Makoto, Maria]
* Lazar eyes the demons. "No are very bright. No use element of surprise. Would
not last 2 minutes in Translyvania."
[Chie's turn]
* Chie runs up and swings at demon #1.
* Lazar drops into a fighting stance. "These normal demons. Bite, slash, nothing
special. But like eat heads."
* Reikoto keeps the rest of the club between the demons and herself. No fighting
for her, nope nope.
[Chie cuts a good-sized gap in the first demon's chest.]
[Demon1's turn]
* Demon1 raises a clawed hand and takes a swipe at Chie.
( And hits unless she defends )
(I defended in #dice and made it.)
[Chie parries the claw with her sword.]
[Lazar's turn]
* Lazar tosses a hook at Demon #1. "No eat heads of little ones, stupid demon!"
[The second demon trips Lazar as he rushes first, and Lazar falls,
making a big dent in the pavement.]
[Demon2's turn]
(x_x)
* Demon2 cuts at Lazar's back while he's down there. "But they're so tasty!
* Demon2 cuts a good hunk of stone from Lazar's back. He looks at it at awe,
since Lazar's still in human form. "What the-?!"
[Rei's turn]
* Lazar grunts.
* SpiritRei readies an invisible pitch. ~Oh, you're gonna be even more confused
in a second, red an' ugly.~ She throws absolutely nothing at the second demon.
[The demon blunders around blunderingly.]
[Chomei's turn]
( Spittakes at "blunders around blunderingly" )
* Chomei fires an energy bolt at the blundering demon.
~Ha! Victory will be mine! And then THE WORLD!~
[Chomei lodges the bolt in it's midriff.]
( Yep. Almost as good as 'blunders unerringly'. ^_^ )
(Hee. ^_^)
[Makoto's turn]
* Reikoto moves defensively, making sure that there are people between her and
the demons, and that's all.
[Maria's turn]
* Maria launches herself at the first demon, attacking with a fast combo of
kicks and punches and other wholesome martial arts stuff!
[Maria hits the demon twice before he manages to ward her off.]
(*puts on Kung Fu Fighting*)
[Chie's turn]
* Chie ponders something for a split second, then decides to forego showing off
in favor of just hitting the thing. She slashes at the first demon.
(Bah. I can hit the demon better than you can!)
( But can you turn into a pheonix, and burn him with your flaming wings?
)
( Not yet... o/~ )
* Demon1 slides to the side and avoids the attack.
[Demon1's turn]
(Maybe I should have showed off. ;p)
* Demon1 grabs Chie roughly and tries to bite her shoulder.
[Chie pushes herself away in the nick of time.]
[Lazar's turn]
Keep offa me!
* Lazar growls and rises, throwing an uppercut at Demon 2 as he gets up.
[The demon stumbles, and Lazar strikes a bit too late to hit him.]
[Demon2's turn]
* Demon2 shakes his head as if to clear it, then throws a strike at Lazar.
* Demon2 cuts Lazar across the front, drawing off more stone.
[Rei's turn]
* SpiritRei turns her attention to the first demon, bringing her hand back. ~And
the same treatment for you. Double the ugly, double the fun!~
[Rei doesn't have as much luck with that one.]
[Chomei's turn!]
* Chomei levels his bow and takes another shot at the stumbling ugly one.
[Chomei lodges another bolt into the demon]
[Makoto's turn]
* Reikoto does the same as before, keeping her eyes nervously on poor Lazar, but
otherwise just trying to keep out of everybody's way.
[Maria's turn!]
* Maria attacks Demon1 again!
[Maria hits the demon only once.]
[Chie's turn]
* Chie swings at the first demon again.
[Chie cuts the demon, and he's not looking so good now.]
Demon1's turn
* Demon1 swipes tiredly at Chie, and misses.
[Lazar's turn]
* Lazar is visibly pissed now, and just throws a forearm at the second demon.
[Lazar finally hits the right beat. He also hits the demon. The demon
is not happy.]
[Demon2's turn]
* Demon2 tries to slash Lazar in retaliation!
[Lazar gets a big X across his chest.]
[Rei's turn]
* Lazar just growls.
* SpiritRei gives up on the attempted brainfries and hangs back next to her
double.
[Chomei's turn]
* Chomei shoots at demon2 again. "Why won't you just fall down?"
[Chomei puts another one in, but he doesn't fall yet.]
[Makoto's turn!]
* Reikoto keeps behind people, and silently prays very hard for Lazar to stop
getting slashed.
[Maria's turn]
* Maria attacks demon1 again!
[The demon performs an amazing display of not getting hit.]
[Chie's turn!]
* Chie slashes at the first demon.
[Chie cuts another gash in it, and it's all the demon can do to keep
standing.]
[Demon1's turn]
* Demon1 gives up on Chie and slices Maria
[Maria slides out of the way.]
[Lazar's turn]
* Maria sticks her tongue out at the demon as she dodges. XP
* Lazar continues in on Demon 2, rearing back and tossing an overhand left at
it.
[Lazar crushes it's skull. It's good and dead.]
[Rei's turn]
* SpiritRei hangs back. ~Come on MC you can do it! Just put some more power to
it! Gooooo team!~
[Chomei's turn]
* SpiritRei grooves in the air.
* Chomei shoots at demon1!
[It dies.]
(Oh, sure, *Chomei* kills it after Maria and I do all the work. ;p)
(He's a killstealer! Get 'im!)
(Hey, Lazar KS'ed me.)
( *gets Chomei* )
(runrunruns)
(No, wait a sec, you can't have him!)
(Maria wins. Chie is left single and lonely.)
(;_;)
* SpiritRei blinks. ~Well! That was subtle and sneaky and oh so like Asahara. Is
everyone okay?~
* Chie relaxes her stance. "Yeah. So they know we're here. Great."
Yeah, but I didn't think they'd come out and greet us so quickly. Are
we gonna have to fight our way through the whole building?
* Chomei relaxes. "Just peachy."
( ^_^_v )
* Lazar punches the nearest solid object that doesn't belong to the team and
isn't integral to the structural stability of the garage. "Sloppy! Stupid and
sloppy!"
* Reikoto goes to check on Lazar.
Laz! Geez, you okay?
[Lazar puts a dent in some sucker's car.]
I fine. Not hurt bad, just angry. Fight like crap.
Everybody has bad nights?
Well, they were sort of expecting us. I'd be surprised if they didn't
send a welcoming comittee.
* Chie looks somewhat worried.
* Chomei nods. "Everyone screws up once in a while."
You'll do fine next time.
And don't feel bad, Laz. We all have terrible days.
Yeah, just save that good day for Dimitri.
* Lazar mutters. "Too many bad nights..."
Just means you're due for a good night.
* Reikoto wanders over to the dead demons and whispers to the real Rei, wherever
she is. "Hey, do you think these things were... manufactured? Or are they really
demons?"
* SpiritRei blinks and speaks selectively, just to Makoto: ~You ask me? If
Asahara's up to the tricks it's always been to, it could be either. Project S
involved deals with demons. But chances are they're artificial. Doesn't make
them any less dangerous.~
* Lazar stops slightly, but is still visibly Not Happy.
So, anyhow. We have free parking. What next?
* Reikoto whispers again. "Yeah, I know. I just wasn't expecting... I guess it
didn't sink in how dangerous these guys were until now. I mean, no offense, but
if it's... Rei they're after..." She swallows hard and doesn't finish.
* Lazar reaches into his pouch and pulls out his demon bracers, slipping them
on. "If more demons, they in for nasty surprise..."
Heh.
Well, now we're parked. Shall we bust the party?>
Sure. I feel like a party pooper tonight.
* Chie eyes Maria and bites back a comment.
~It's gonna suck to be both me and you, yeah. Maybe this wasn't
such a good idea. We're both in trouble this way.~
* Lazar grumbles. "When I find Kabbalist, then demons be in big trouble..."
* Chie looks at Lazar. "A who?"
A... Cannabilist?
No, let's stick to this plan. If they get me, you might be able to
get away. But I fully expect you to rescue me, young lady.
Kabbalist. Jewish mysticist. Channel power of God to do things, like
create golem.
Only ones who can inscribe mystic runes.
* SpiritRei snickers, still talking to Makoto. ~You, with the mad shifty powers
and the yo-yo of DOOM need rescuin'? Can I bring the syrup-filled balloon gun?~
Ahh. And you want more runes to... strengthen you or something?
* Chomei nods. "Oh, so you find one of those guys and he turns you from kill
demons to smash demons into toothpaste?"
Sounds like a fine deal to me.
Golem supposed to have 4 characters inscribed on head. I not normal
golem... I only have 2. More runes, I approach what should be full power.
But what would happen to *you*?
* Reikoto chuckles a little despite the situation. "Well," she whispers, "when
you put it that way, if I really need rescuin', then you definitely better bring
the syrup gun."
I hit stuff harder.
But would it change you in any sort of bad way?
* Maria blinks. "Nice."
No know. Never been person made into golem before.
So you're a... first?
* Lazar nods.
* SpiritRei nods, perching on 'her' head and watching the others talk. She keeps
up with her conversation, though. ~Will do. It's supposed to be mounted to your
car, but I'm sure I can come up with something. A rolling tripod! That has
potential.~
* Chie bites her lip and considers this.
Was not ideal, but best choice in bad situation.
* Chomei nods. "Well, I'd like to hear the story, but for now we have heads to
bust."
Normal golem mindless, like machine. I... well, I not.
* SpiritRei speaks up, making sure the whole group can hear her now. ~Hey, wait!
What about the Prof?~
Then again... since the Prof ain't here, you can explain all ya want.
* Chie murmurs in response to Lazar's last comment, "Which is what I'd worry
about."
What about him? Should we wait until he shows up?
* Lazar shrugs. "Soul merged with golem. No reason more power would change."
